shall have a cause of action against
This I think is the correct legal wording. They could have said claim in Spanish but for some reason did not do so.

This is common in insurance policies. It simply means that the beneficiaries will have a course of action against the insurance company which cannot raise against the beneficiaries the defences which it may have against the policyholder as a result of matters attributable to the latter.

An example would be when a bus company takes out insurance covering its passengers and fails to make a material disclosure, e.g. that one of its drivers has convictions for drink-driving. If there is an accident the passengers can sue the insurance company but the bus company would not be able to sue, e.g. for the damage to the bus.

That should be 'cause' of action in my note.

will have a claim against
I think this is what it amounts to. "Tener acción" presumably means to have the right to apply to a court to have one's right upheld, but I don't think it necessarily means taking legal action against. It means an enforceable claim.
